59. A Tribe Called Quest "It's Yours" (1998)

Producer: A Tribe Called QuestAlbum: The Lost TribesLabel: Jive

The Native Tongues are hip-hop nerds to the fullest. Their songs are inundated with references to old-school tracks, with some even lifting and reshaping entire lines and choruses: "It's Yours" is a tasteful homage to T. La Rock. It's another track that was somehow left off of Beats, Rhymes and Life even though it might have strengthened the project had it been included.
